Yesterday afternoon I was washing my hands in the WW headquarter's bathroom sink and noticed the drain was running slower than usual. Being inquisitive in nature and quite handy with plumbing repairs, I removed the drain plug. "Yep, something's down there", I thought as I grabbed someone's toothbrush. (sorry for the blurry picture)
I snagged the obstruction and was dumfounded, "what the hell is this?"
I know I'm not Ripley's Baby's daddy from the "ALIEN'S" MOVIE, although Sigourney Weaver was kinda hot back in 1979.
It's a Keichousaurus from the Triassic period,245-210 million years ago. Described as 6 to 12 inches long; long neck and tail; five-toed feet , their fossils which are prized (and expensive) collector's items. Couldn't be that lucky.
I've been brushing, flossing my teeth, washing my hands at this very sink for almost 10 years and that thing was living just a few inches from my face.
Maybe it's what happens when you dump a decade of DNA in the primordial soup of a bathroom sink and
it sadly takes on a life of its own.
What's in YOUR sink?
